Invasive Fungal Infections in Heart Transplants: A 10‐Year, Single Centre Retrospective Cohort Study From Subtropical Australia

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In this 10‐year retrospective cohort study of heart transplant recipients in subtropical Australia, we characterize the incidence and microbiological profile of invasive fungal infections, highlighting the underappreciated burden of late‐onset and non‐Aspergillus mold infections and the potential underdiagnosis of polymicrobial disease.

Molecular Detection of Sarcocystis suihominis and Sarcocystis miescheriana in Wild Boars Hunted for Human Consumption in Poland Highlights a Potential Risk for the Consumer

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Wild boars and domestic pigs can act as intermediate hosts for two Sarcocystis species: Sarcocystis miescheriana and the zoonotic Sarcocystis suihominis. Humans become infected with S. suihominis by eating raw or undercooked meat. Herein we investigated the occurrence of Sarcocystis spp.
